Butt Family, H-E-B Donate $10M to replace Robb Elementary School in Uvalde after Mass Shooting

BRIAN LOPEZ, The Texas Tribune Retail & FoodService July 5, 2022

Grocery retailer H-E-B and the Butt Family have committed $10 million to the Uvalde school district to build a new school to replace Robb Elementary, the site of the mass shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers last month.

The donations were made to the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District’s new nonprofit arm, the Uvalde CISD Moving Forward Foundation, which is seeking donations to make the district’s schools more secure, help build the new school and build a memorial park at the Robb location.

“It’ll definitely be part of the healing process,” Hal Harrell, Uvalde CISD superintendent, said of the donation.
